    Yeah, most ball pythons spend a lot of time on the warm side.

    I'm so glad to hear that I've heard they favor the cold side except when digesting did I hear wrong?

    Odyn is in his hot side 90% of the time. Boople spends her time on the Hotside after eating for 2-3 days moves to her cold side 3-4 days. She spends time in each almost equally.

    So basically they can have a preference?

    Odyn seems to love his hot side. Boople loves which ever one is farthest away from light. Unless she just ate and then hot side for 2-3 days. So I would say yes they have a preference.

    Yes, different ball pythons can have different preferences. I know Missterdog's new baby ball always goes into his cool side to digest, it's funny. And my ball pythons always spend 90% of their time on the warm side.

    Ty Jeffree reminds me of my mom when I told her the temperatures bps prefer she's like "that sounds nice" I think she was a reptile in a previous life.
